Question
My child is seven months old and has diarrhea with egg-like stools. They have been taking Sibiduo for three days. I would like to ask if they should only take Sibiduo, or do they need other medications as well? For example, Mami Love. Also, can they take Zhuyalong Granules?
Answer
Hello! It is safe to take, but it must be prescribed by a doctor. Children with diarrhea should not drink milk or eat watermelons as they can worsen the diarrhea. If the child has been on solid food for a long time and has introduced congee, then they can eat rice porridge. And congee, especially millet congee, is best. If vegetables have been introduced, you can make vegetable or fruit congee. This way, you don’t have to worry about excessive nutrient loss. You can give the baby some ripe apples or carrot puree, which have a laxative effect. Carrot congee is also a good choice. Babies under one year old should not eat soy milk.
